A Photo a Day - June 24, 2010.

We had a communications excercise this morning involving threats at various venues. Our mission was to establish communications support and interoperability between different agencies including FBI, Homeland Security, ATF, and local police, fire, and bomb units as well as link in the other incident locations. Basically, we give everyone the ability to talk to one another.

One component of the scenario was the requirement of mission critical equipment that needed to be on the scene as soon as possible. That's where me and Ivan got a ride from the US Park Police helicopter: Eagle 2. They picked us up in Gaithersburg and we were at our scene location within 10 minutes.

I LOVE MY JOB!

Our target was FedExField.

Real Time Medical’s software solution, DiaShare™, was leveraged at the e-Health 2013 Interoperability Showcase.

Participation was in the COPD scenario which focused on a typical Radiology use case. The patient received an x-ray at a local facility, which was read by a remote radiologist, and then required immediate follow-up. DiaShare™ – which enables interoperability – received an order from a Merge RIS, moved images to a GE PACS viewer, and populated the study in the remote radiologist’s worklist for reporting. DiaShare™ then forwarded the HL7 report to the GE PACS before it was sent to a regional document repository.
